2.3.2 How to connect the cables for X-band (TR-DOWN) radar
1. Unfasten four bolts from the
rear cover to remove the rear
cover. If the de-icer is al-
ready installed or will be in-
stalled, remove two bolts
inside the antenna to remove
the front cover.
Note 1: The cable for the
performance monitor is con-
nected between the rear cov-
er and the RF-TB Board in the Antenna Unit. Open the cover slowly to prevent
damage to the cable and connector.
Note 2: If the de-icer is to be installed, spread open the right and left heater ele-
ments on the cover, then remove the front cover, being careful not to hit the ele-
ments on the radiator or chassis.
2. Disconnect the performance monitor connector (J807) from the RF-TB Board.
